@myteeb: Bastet is one of the most beloved and protective goddesses of Ancient Egypt. In her earliest depictions, she appeared as a fierce lioness, but over time she transformed into a more graceful and protective figure — a woman with the head of a cat. Cats were considered sacred in Egypt, believed to bring prosperity and protection to homes. Like a cat, Bastet possessed both softness and dangerous power: she guarded households, families, and especially women and children from harm. She was also associated with music, dance, joy, and fertility. In her temples, people would offer precious jewelry and cat statues as gifts to honor her. Her symbols were gold, gemstones, and exquisite clothing. Her feline head, sharp gaze, and mysterious presence symbolized both beauty and the quiet power hidden in the shadows. According to belief, Bastet’s presence would drive away evil and bring peace and safety into homes. To the Ancient Egyptians, she was not just a goddess, but a protective spirit touching every part of daily life. #Bastet #EgyptianMythology #CatGoddess #AncientEgypt #Mythology #GoddessOfProtection #MythologicalFigures #History #MythologyLovers #egyptiangoddess
